Abstract excerpt
The putative Brca2-MmRad51 interaction is analyzed in mouse cells deleted for the COOH terminus of Brca2 (amino acids 3140-3328), which contains a region that associates with MmRad51 by yeast two-hybrid. These cells are hypersensitive to gamma-radiation (suggesting defective recombinational repair) but not UV light (suggesting intact nucleotide excision repair) and maintain the G1-S and G2-M checkpoints after...
